    ok i have ordered an alienware m17x r4 from america to be shipped to the UK, but im now contemplating changing the US keyboard to one with a UK layout.

    the question I'd like answering is;

    what is the part number for the UK keyboard for the m17x R4? is it just the same keyboard used in the R3, and if so whats the part number for that?

    xP i am so noob at as you can probably gather.

    Not sure what part # but the only difference in the keyboard layout are on the symbols only. Keys placement for #, ~, |, \, different right Alt, and the Euro currency are different between US and UK layout. But all the letters are basically the same as they both use the QWERTY layout. In addition, the UK keyboard have some additional letters that are accessible by using the right Alt like Á, É, Í, Ó, and Ú.
